@ItaiYanai One potential problem is that for deeper papers or those with lots of experiments (thinking about those with a big supplement), it might be hard to make an informed decision immediately. This sounds good for clear accepts or rejects, not sure about other less clear cut papers

Deep learning has obviously transformed protein structure prediction, but can it do the same for the rest of biology? In a perspective by @sorger_peter and myself out this week in @naturemethods, we begin to try to answer this question: https://t.co/XSi0fkusRv

A friend (who does not work in science) asked me today whether it is true that "protein folding has been solved". My short answer:

The AlphaFold method produced very impressive results on CASP14. Protein folding is not a solved problem.

[Gerald Quon @QuonBio]

@MoAlQuraishi Interesting, though there's no mention in the nature article on how novel the structures were this year -- how well represented are the structures predicted in existing datasets nowadays?

[Gerald Quon @QuonBio]

@DanStarrUCDavis I think there is already to some degree, I usually get a bunch of requests through https://t.co/WClKjY3F7m from multiple schools for the same person?

@astrofrog @DrAnneCarpenter Upgraded a 2019 Intel based macbook pro, and it made my external monitor blink continuously immediately after install. Monitor still works fine with other machines so likely a big sur problem.

@DanStarrUCDavis @gwgl1979 Congrats!

@aaronquinlan We use Miro for brainstorming and planning, not as great for replacing traditional whiteboards like jamboard though

[Sara Mostafavi @sara_mostafavi]

Happy to see this paper out. Interpreting what CNNs have learned on large compendium of ATAC-seq data was surprising: much of the learnt parameters point to validated biological mechanisms. Deep learning of immune cell differentiation https://t.co/qCt6DY4ywM
